3.2. Domain Name Registration

3.2.1.

Should you choose to register a domain name through 1&1, 1&1 will register a second level domain name on your behalf, provided such domain name is available for registration. 1&1 acts only as an intermediary between you and the organization providing the domain name, and has no influence over the assignment of domain names. The registration of your domain name is subject to the terms and conditions of those registry terms and conditions, and is also subject to the terms of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy ("UDRP"). You agree that, if the registration or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions of the UDRP in effect at the time of the dispute. 1&1 assumes no liability in the event the domain name is unavailable or otherwise not assigned to you, and does not warrant or guarantee that assigned domain names do not infringe the rights of third parties, or that you will retain the rights to that domain name for any period of time. Upon payment in full of any and all registration fees, 1&1 shall not own or otherwise legally control any domain name registered on your behalf. You agree that you are responsible for any and all fees and costs related to the registration of your domain name, and you authorize 1&1 to debit the Payment Account for any such fees and costs. Unless terminated, at the end of each term your domain name will automatically renew for an additional term, and you further authorize 1&1 to debit your Payment Account for the renewal fee associated with such renewal term and any related fees or charges. Should the Payment Account provider fail to honor such debit, 1&1 may, in its sole discretion, release, cancel, or otherwise dispose of or utilize Your domain name as it sees fit, with no obligation to You whatsoever.

3.2.2.

You acknowledge and agree that 1&1 or its agents, assignees or licensees may associate any data of any kind, in 1&1's sole discretion, with the Domain Name registered in association with Your Web Site or any URL incorporating said Domain Name until you replace such data with Your Web Site, at such times as Your Web Site is no longer available, and upon termination for any reason, for as long as 1&1 or 1&1's agent, assignee or licensee continue to be listed as the hosting entity with the domain name registry used to register such Domain Name. This paragraph shall apply to any and all web pages generated by 1&1 or its affiliates, including but not limited to 404 error pages.

3.2.3.

The Customer agrees and accepts that for reasons of security the Company will apply a transfer lock to protect the transfer of a domain name. The Customer will nevertheless be able to remove the transfer lock in order to allow a transfer of a domain name which has been applied for by third parties.

3.2.4.

You represent and warrant that your domain name does not infringe the copyright, trademark, or any other intellectual property rights of any person or company and that your domain name is otherwise in compliance with the terms of this agreement, in particular the provisions of Section 8.

3.2.5.

You shall inform 1&1 of any claim or potential claim against your domain name, including but not limited to the initiation of a dispute under the UDRP, within five days of notification of same. Should you lose your right to use a domain name which is used in connection with the 1&1 Services, whether through expiration of the domain name, judicial decree, administrative decisions of the UDRP or otherwise, you agree to inform 1&1 immediately of the party to whom the domain name is to be transferred and you authorize 1&1 to take any and all action necessary to effect such transfer.

3.2.6.

1&1 will accept the transfer of domain names from other registrars, provided however, that you will be required to pay for an initial year of registration fees upon transfer. Domain names which have been prepaid for a period of more than one year but with fewer than nine years remaining may also be transferred, subject to the payment of an initial year of registration fees. An additional year will be added on to the remaining term of any transferred domain. Domain names with more than nine years remaining on the registration period may not be transferred. Upon the expiration of the one-year extension you will be charged an annual renewal fee for any subsequent renewal period. By requesting the transfer of your domain name you authorize 1&1 to debit your Payment Account for the one-year registration fee and any related fees or charges.

3.2.7.

The Private Domain Registration Services offered by 1&1 are subject to the terms and conditions of 1&1's Private Registration Service (the "T&C Private Domain Registration"), which are incorporated herein by reference.

3.2.8.

You acknowledge and agree that 1&1 may suspend, cancel, transfer or modify your domain name registration at any time, for any reason, at the 1&1s sole discretion. Without limiting the foregoing, 1&1 may, in its sole discretion, suspend, cancel, transfer or modify a domain name registration:

1. to correct mistakes made by 1&1, another registrar, or the applicable registry administrator,

2. to resolve a dispute related to that domain name,

3. within five (5) calendar days of the creation date of that domain name registration,

4. if you breach this Agreement (including any applicable additional rule or policy),

5. if you use a domain name in connection with unlawful activity.

6. if 1&1 believes, in its sole discretion, that the domain name has been registered fraudulently

7. upon receipt of a court order or other notification from a court of competent jurisdiction, an arbitration award, or other legal authority requiring the suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification of your domain name registration.

You further acknowledge and agree that your domain name registration is subject to suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification pursuant to the terms of any rules or policies applicable to your domain name registration, including, but not limited to (i) the UDRP, (ii) any ICANN adopted policy, (iii) any registrar (including 1&1) or registry administrator procedures, or (iv) any other ccTLD registry administrator procedures. As more completely set forth in Sections 6, 7, and 10, you waive any and all claims you may have, now and forever, against 1&1 relating to the suspension, cancellation, transfer or modification of your domain name registration.

3.2.9.

You shall have the right to cancel your contract in the event that the initial domain name registration price is greater than the price originally listed by 1&1. For the purposes of clarity, this termination right is only in relation to the new gTLDs and only under the above circumstances.

3.2.10.

You agree, and acknowledge, that some TLDs will have non-uniform renewal registration pricing such that the Fee for a domain name registration renewal may differ from other domain names in the same or other TLDs."
